The carboxyl at the end of lipoic acid's hydrocarbon chain
forms an HS CH2
amide bond to the side-chain amino group of a
lysine residue ofCHE2 2, yielding lipoamide. NH
HS CH O
A long flexible CH
arm, including hydrocarbon chains of
2 CH2 CH2 CH2 C NH (CH2)4 CH
lipoate and the lysine R-group, links each lipoamide dithiol
C O
group to one of 2 lipoate-binding domains of each E2.
Lipoate-binding domains are themselves part of a flexible
strand of E2 that extends out from the core of the complex.

Sequence of reactions catalyzed by Pyruvate
Dehydrogenase complex:
1. The keto C of pyruvate reacts with the carbanion of
TPP on E1 to yield an addition compound.
The electron-pulling (+) charged N of the thiazole ring
promotes CO2 loss. Hydroxyethyl-TPP remains.
2. The hydroxyethyl carbanion on TPP of E1 reacts with
the disulfide of lipoamide on E2. What was the keto C
of pyruvate is oxidized to a carboxylic acid, as the
lipoamide disulfide is reduced to a dithiol.
The acetate formed by oxidation of the hydroxyethyl
is linked to one of the thiols of the reduced lipoamide
as a thioester (~).
Sequence of reactions (continued)
3. Acetate is transferred from the thiol of lipoamide
to the thiol of coenzyme A, yielding acetyl CoA.
4. The reduced lipoamide, swings over to the E3
active site.
Dihydrolipoamide is reoxidized to the disulfide, as
2 e− + 2 H+ are transferred to a disulfide on E3
(disulfide interchange).
5. The dithiol on E3 is reoxidized as 2 e- + 2 H+ are
transferred to FAD.
The resulting FADH2 is reoxidized by electron
transfer to NAD+, to yield NADH + H+.
Krebs Cycle
Acetyl CoA, a product of the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase
reaction, is a central compound in metabolism.
The "high energy" thioester linkage makes it an
excellent donor of the acetate moiety.

Krebs Cycle
If the CAC intermediate are used for synthetic reactions, they are replenished by
anaplerotic reactions in the cells (indicated by red colours).
